Firmware 2.43 OutSony just released firmware 2.43. The firmware brings nothing new, and it’s to help with stability issues. You are not prompted to download it, so you can still log in the PlayStation Network. But if you would like to download it, you can do so by going to Settings, then System Update. Now it’s a region specific update, meaning that Japan is the only country that has to download it. If we hear of anything else, we will let you all know.
